Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ritsu Doan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 25' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
